Remember if an engineering group was testing something on a mule or prototype they'd assemble a machine to test the parts they were working on. If they started messing around with T.A.s before they did brakes they would use an older tractor with their new T.A. pieces parts on it. Even if they were working on brakes at the same time they might build their T.A. mule with the older style brakes. Idea is if you are testing a T.A. why expose your test to the possibility of messing around with experimental brakes when your supposed to be messing around with a T.A.? Oh yeah the factory didn't have "correct" police, especially in prototyping, the mistakes they made on prototype/mules tractor were resolved and incorporated into production, except of course the 560- they opted to let the farmers do the testing on that one- not one of their better ideas. An Ag engineering professor of mine in college lead us through a prototype testing program he did on a rice harvester. By looking at pictures of the machine he could date or place them in sequence. As he ran the machine they found problems and engineered solutions to the problems. Friends of mine that make dog sleds are the same way, they look at one of their sleds and can date it by different parts or assembly methods .

Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
